Clever play. I don't follow the hysterical link that came next. Oh well.


The term hysteria comes from the Greek word for uterus, and this is the link to endometriosis. More reading below.

It's an incredibly sexist term. I'm surprised that word is still such a common part of our vernacular in other contexts.

And now we're talking about it, and people who had not previously understood the association are thinking about it.

True.

I understand language evolves. I am guessing our word game is part of that :)

Just one question. I ask this because of your choice of moniker and you don't have to answer. It was just another confusing layer in decrypting the word link. Due to the "Spartana" I assumed you are female because of the feminine form of "Spartano" which seems to be an adjective as in a lifestyle. Pardon my limited skills on this one but that made it doubly confusing.
The other aspect I considered was that it was intended to be "Punny" ( Pun + Funny ) as a comment on the flow on the thread..

Spartana is not a moniker, it is my name. I am Tony Spartana, a 35 year old male, living in Maryland, USA.

Then I must point out that it is very interesting and something I didn't resolve. Has something to do with the Spartans.

I regularly listen to the radio panel game "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" where this game is played, and to hear masters of stand-up navigate their way out of a "swear trap" set by an opponent is quite an education in the use of the English language

Fourier analysis.noun
mathematics: the approximation of a function through the application of a Fourier series to periodic data
Fourier series.noun
Mathematics.-.an infinite series whose terms are constants multiplied by sine and cosine functions and that can, if uniformly convergent, approximate a wide variety of functions

If we are going to disregard the rules then surmount this!
It is a Transform and a circumvent. It is also a word play.
